3 people from the days when a star was someone who had great talent, not just someone who went into a house for 10 weeks with a bunch of other nobodies and made their reputation by behaving badly. They were marvellous and I could listen to them all day.

I'd forgotten how funny Beryl Reid was.

OMG I saw Frankie in that pantomime in Sheffield, he was brilliant!

[@Iain1962]

Lovely, a quiet chat with diverse friends. Nice the way they start asking each other questions it's more like a dinner conversation than an interview show.

All FOUR of these amazing people are now gone 🥺🥺 this is all we have left memories THANKS FOR SHARING X

[@geoffjoffy]

Great memories from all three - including the host, Denis. Beryl often played a lot of battleaxes in her career, but here as herself she is rather an attractive, witty, polite middle aged lady. Thanks for uploading and reminding us what true TV and stage stars were.

Love this - saw Frankie live at High Wycombe who was a judge at a beauty contest, along with Brian Cant. Frankie did a impromptu act, I loved it.

Watching that interview I think that was the best I've ever seen. You couldn't get any more diverse set of people than Alan Whicker and Beryl/Frankie. They all seemed totally relaxed, like a quiet evening with friends

Wow, I was only 4 at the time. I remember all these greats well and Norden is a great host, I only remember him presenting It'll Be Alright On The Night. RIP Legends of yesteryear.

Thank you for uploading the video. Lovely to see all these people again. Beryl Reid was wonderful in The Entertaining of Mr Sloane.
